Ended up being a 27hr chase gate to gate from Greenville NC, required application of knowledge learned both in the mid Atlantic over the past 10-15 years punching some of the larger events on record and new things learned out in the PAC NW over the past two years, specifically wheel chains which I purchased for required areas out there and used on the rear for our drive down 1 to Ladysmith, we left about 430pm yesterday. VA law notes tire studs, chain info seems to be prohibited per law unless conditions warrant them in season but still unsure.  And that’s with a 4x4 truck, it was rough.

~14” with >1.5” liquid equivalent, heavy and wet with the pivot main deform supporting improved ratios after 11am

Anyone else have the following?

Elevated surfaces accumulated slower than some fully shaded  ground spots?
6” on snowboard but 7.5 scattered shaded ground and not a drift. Cars did well at 8”

currently 28.3F and 4.75 remaining  on board

100% snow coverage where not hand removed. Max ground depth 6”  and full sun depth 2.5-3.5

Same, the cars cooled fastest and had the most accumulation.  Ground-level snow board was relatively low compared to elevated surfaces.

Exact location I live. We are still without power and seeing the tree devastation…it’s understandable.

First time back at work in Annapolis since the storm. I was shocked to see all the tree damage at my work.  A lot of large tree limbs down, small trees snapped in half or uprooted. The area has really suffered a lot of wind/tree damage over the past two years. Two tornados, a couple wind storms, and then this snowstorm really has caused a lot of tree damage.
